"The facility is the first major commitment a national manufacturer of doors and windows has made to assemble products in the West," says Peachtree president C. B. Jennings.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye, lt's Free Speakers who can tell retailers, their employees and custorilers all about pressure treated wood are available nationwide through the newly formed Wood Preserving Industry Speakers Bureau.

In discussing the free Consumer Awareness Programs presented by volunteers, Pat Hamilton of the American Wood Preservers Institute said, "We're what you might call product proud so we can be eloquent on the subject for half an hour or top off a meeting with a short video and a brief talk, but either way we bring colorful posters and counterstrips to distribute.

The program includes information on the treating process, use, handling and disposal of pressure treated wood. Arrangements for a speaker may be made with Pat Hamillon at AWPI, 1945 Old Gallows Rd., Suite 550. Vienna, Ya.22182, (703) 893-4005.

The facility will assemble doors and windows, warehouse and ship them. The depot also houses a training center for dealers and builders. Adjacent land was also purchased, enabling Peachtree to double the size of the facility in the future.
